(This is actually about the test for Hardy­Weinberg equilibrium, and so complements
my first paper (1969). I would dearly like to know why there is an identity between
the Bayes posterior probability and the classical p­value in the test for independence
in both cases. Someone must surely be able to show that these two are special cases
of a general result, for conditional tests in exponential families?)
